We advise students who are using this resource to help with their academic writing to find fellow students, who have similar interests and  concerns, to join with them in collaborative investigation. We suggest this has many advantages:

dialogue and discussion among a peer group

this gives you the opportunity to develop your ideas through dialogue, have your ideas questioned and develop your own ideas through formulating a critique of your colleagues' ideas

division of labour

the review of the literature, the coverage of a survey population - all these can be divided among peers

social organisational skills development

developing these skills through planning work schedules, sharing and contextualizing work, and offering constructive feedback

You don't even necessairly need to collaborate with someone whom you agree with all the time.  There is some debate as to whether consensus or conflict is more constructive in collaborative work. (See John Trimbur, 1989: 602 and Burnett, 1993)

However, a good working relationship is important. People who develop familiarity and trust as a group might be better able to engage in discussions over whose approach or wording to accept.
